Item number: 1771405
This coat rack has been designed like a cross-section of the structure of an aircraft fuselage and is perfect for hanging up jackets and other items of clothing. It was created from genuine aircraft components that were reclaimed from the legendary SWISS Airbus 321 with the registration HB-IOC. After 27 years in service with Swissair and SWISS, the Airbus made its final landing in Zurich in 2022. The aeroplane has been transformed into the starting point for the SWISS Recraft Collection, which is the first SWISS aircraft upcycling project. A total of five to eight hooks are integrated into the structure of this coat rack. The piece has a striking colour thanks to its light-green protective coating, adding to the appeal of the design. The coat rack is securely affixed to the wall with two screws.
HB-IOC: the iconic Airbus 321
The registration "IOC" originally referred to the International Olympic Committee (IOC), and for a year it was decorated with the Olympic rings. The Airbus 321 also bore the name of the city of Lausanne, where the IOC has its headquarters. Later, the aeroplane was renamed after St. Moritz, henceforth carrying the charm of this alpine resort throughout Europe. During its 27 years in regular service, the Airbus 321 transported over seven million guests and completed some 47,000 take-offs and landings. With over 73,000 flying hours and a total flight distance equivalent to 1,315 round-the-world trips or 137 voyages to the moon, every Upcycling product from this aircraft comes with an impressive history.
